Dear Doe:

I have just received a confirmation from Brigham Young
of its negotiation with Long Island which would as I explained
in my letter last week closeup the possibility of scheduling
your team on Saturday, December 12th.

If it was possible to schedule #ordham in the Garden on

Saturday night, December 26th, would this make any difference

in your plans. You could play this game and return to Lawrence
to give you plenty of time for work during the vacation period
prior to your conference opening. Naturally, for a single game
the quaranteed reimbursement would not be as high as for two or
three games, but I am certain that the reimbursement of expenses
in the amount of $1250 for the single game here plus your part-
icipation would more than cover expenses of the trip.

The Saturday night date during the Christmas holiday «period
has been the most desireable from a gate standpoint the last few
years. Last December we drew over $19,000, after deducting
Federal taxes. 1 feel confident that your participation in the
game with Fordham on this date would exceed $1250, so that you
would get a total of $2500 or more for the single game.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Basketball
